streaml1ne Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Funny. It was still cheaper to get the NH1 bundle from Sefu. And that included buying the universal 6-volt plug from minidisco =) Still a good deal at these prices though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rei-gouki Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 So did Minidisco and and MD Canada buy these bundles from Australia? Seems like a bit of a coincidence.Did anyone else note on the Minidisc Canada page the units have Australian voltage???... the pricing on Minidisc Canada would suggest that they may have gone to warehouse rather than minidisc.com.au... The Minidisco ones... look sus but as said, it's prolly just them doing their usualy thing.... but if this is the reason Tamaritha can't get a NH900, dead within 2 weeks of purchase, exchanged from Sefu, then I would consider it to be at least a bit annoying, especially if Minidisco is getting them to gouge the American market.

If you could do that then I would be sold on that yamaha, i wonder if sony had done this lol. If they had a cut down version of that, with only the cd copying to hard disk function, then that would also be pretty good, for my purposes.

cambridgeman Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Does anyone know if it is really a possibility to order from Minidisc Australia, if one is not from Australia or N.Z.? I sent them 2 e-mails stating my desire to purchase an NH1 bundle from them. I acknowledged they were having difficulty with shipping the batteries, so I explicitly stated I would offer them a complete waiver of responsibility, as far as the delivery of the battery. I stated I would only wish for them to try and send the battery by regular mail, and hope for the best. Most unfortunately, there was absolutely no response. I think that is a little rude. Has anyone else had a better experience with them? I know a few people had been successful with ordering bundles from them the first week they were offered. Has Minidisc Australia severed all interest in communicating with buyers without an Australian or N.Z. address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted December 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Sefu, the owner of Minidisc Australia, has been seemingly MIA. He is a great guy though, and I'm sure that there's a reason for it. I imagine that he was not ready for the influx of interest, amongst other things. I will see what I can do.

Thanks for your assistance, Kirisu.The NH1 bundle from Minidisc Australia would only end-up costing about $35 USD more than the NH900 bundle from Minidisc-Canada. I would much rather have the NH1, I think. Especially the preferred remote.Actually, it might end-up costing a little more from Minidisc Australia. I bought a minidisc from California, and FedEx charged me $25 Brokerage fees; and my taxes were only $8. I hope to find a better way of importing for my next international purchase. I bought a couple of used units from the U.K.. They had been labeled "gift" and sent by Air Mail. I didn't have a problem with those.

maxthrusters Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Yesterday I got an early Christmas present: a Sony MZ-DH10P from Minidisc Canada!I'm quite happy with it so far. I already have a MZ-NH1 for recording with microphones, so a player-only downloader was most welcome. A great deal of my music collection is in MP3 format (allofmp3.com yay) so not having to convert to ATRAC3plus is a HUGE timesaver. The DH10P I got was the USA version, not Australian. Made in Malaysia, if anyone was wondering. My NH1 was made in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the DH10P's are made in Malaysia and unfortunately they never made it (together with the rest of the 2nd gen) to Australia. Likewise all the NH1's were made in Japan.

tommypeters Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have been in contact with Sefu and "It's hectic" - they can fill their time with the National sales for now, not really time for this forum or emails, nor opening packages and removing batteries.Didn't ask about International Sales this time, since I got my units before the "curfiew", but then it was said there were a possibility for resuming International shipping but no guarantee. It has to calm down first before it's time for them to decide, there's also holidays right on the doorstep now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
